This capacitor is especially suitable for use in power supplies, converters, motor drives, and non-isolated switching power supplies (such as AC-DC and DC-DC). It is also suitable for use in sensitive frequencies and high voltage applications.

Working Principle

The MAL214267109E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by storing electric charge between two electrically conducting electrodes. The aluminum oxide layer acts as a semi-permeable membrane that allows the migration of electric charge. Electrons are stored on the aluminum oxide molecules as an electrical charge. Consequently, an electric field is created between the two electrodes. This field is what is responsible for the capacitor\'s ability to store and transfer electrical charge.

The MAL214267109E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also equipped with ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). ESR is a measure of a capacitor\'s resistance to changes in the electric field between its electrodes. This parameter is important for ensuring optimal performance of the capacitor at high frequencies and high voltages.
